Dear PCB,

I have been a passionate Pakistan cricket fan for over 20 years, and I have seen this team go through a million ups and (a billion) downs. I have stood by this team and extended unconditional support through thick and thin; despite all the match-fixing allegations, corruption and nepotism accusations and spot-fixing convictions, I continued to ‘bleed green’.

But the downfall we are experiencing lately has me, along with many others, close to losing all interest and hope in our team.

Your inept management might choose to ignore my letter (after all, what's a fan's plea worth in this lucrative, corrupt, money-milking setup that is cricket in this country), but I will exercise the right to voice my frustration anyway.

I remember growing up in the '90s when this country produced untameable heroes, who were fighters and warriors in their own unique ways. Sure, we had a few downslides here and there and occasionally embarrassed ourselves against formidable sides, but we still had the ability and more importantly, the power of will to bounce back strong. I don’t remember seeing arch-rivals India as a big threat up until the mid-2000s, when their long term investment in cricketing infrastructure started to yield prosperous dividends.

Meanwhile the officials at PCB were busy looking for ways to increase their take-home salary.

I am not frustrated with another defeat by our unquestionably superior neighbours, but rather the way we have lost, again. We have shown absolutely no improvement in the last four years. In fact, I believe we are worst now than we were four years ago.

It is all becoming too predictable now and that is very frustrating for die hard fans like me.
